You choose volume
Each admissible order uses the selected fixed lot. Cash loss to the initial stop depends on stop distance, the broker's symbol specification and execution. The same 0.01 lot can carry different cash risk.
ONYX DUAL GOLD / VOLUME & RISK
One lot setting. Two strategies.
DUAL GOLD can run Discipline and Loyalty separately or together. When both are enabled, inspect each order's volume and the combined exposure rather than relying on one number in Inputs.
See the volume example01 / FIXED LOT
Strategy weights do not multiply the fixed lot.
In fixed mode, the selected volume applies to an order from each enabled strategy. Allocation weights affect percentage modes; they do not multiply the fixed lot.
Illustrative scenario0.01 lot per order
Discipline0.01
Loyalty0.01
If both orders fill0.02 lots gross
This shows the volume of two possible fills, not real trades or a maximum exposure. Additional orders change the total. The broker may reject an invalid volume, and the EA may make no trade.
02 / TWO SIZING METHODS
Volume and cash risk are different quantities.
You choose a risk budget
In percentage modes, the budget is based on equity and allocated between enabled strategies by their weights. Volume is estimated from entry and initial stop prices. An entry can be skipped if the budget cannot support the broker's minimum lot.
A percentage budget is an entry-sizing calculation, not a guaranteed account-loss ceiling. Several orders can create larger combined exposure; commission, swap, slippage and gaps affect the actual result.
03 / MT5 STRATEGY TESTER
Check the volume that actually traded.
The MQL5 Market demo runs in Strategy Tester. Keep the test conditions and compare the modes separately, then together.
- 01
Record the version, broker symbol, deposit, leverage, dates and Inputs. Note enabled strategies and the sizing method.
- 02
Read each order and deal volume in Orders and Deals. Review concurrent positions and pending orders instead of inferring total exposure from one Input.
- 03
Compare entry and initial stop prices with estimated cash risk, symbol properties, costs and Journal errors. Change one setting before rerunning.
04 / YOUR OWN CHECK
Test the demo with your broker's data.
Begin with one strategy, then compare combined operation. Save the report and inspect volume, costs and losing outcomes. ONYX does not take payment on this website; purchases and rentals are handled only by MQL5 Market.
Trading can result in loss. A pre-entry risk estimate does not guarantee an exit price or loss ceiling. Historical testing does not predict future returns.
